This invention relates to box constructions, andunore particularly boxes formed of pasteboard or the like, and especially designed for containing powder or other pulverized materials.

The primary object of the invention is to construct a box which will be exceptionally cheap to manufacture and one wherein it will be unnecessary to employ glue or other adhesive material to secure the ends of the walls of the box.

A further object of the invention is to provide means to prevent the material con taincd in the box, from passing between the contacting edges of the walls of the box.

\Vith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing Figure l is a vertical sectional view through a box constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a View of the blank embodying the inner retaining section of the box.

Figure 3 discloses the inner box section in blank form, and

Figure -t-is a sectional view taken on line t-tof Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the box includes a bottom section 5 and a cover section (5, which sections are identical in construction, and formed preferably of cardboard or the like material.

Positioned. within the bottom section 5 is a rectangular section 7, which is of a width equal to the combined widths of the side walls of the bottom section 5 and cover section (3, as clearly shown by Figure 1 of the drawing.

The lining of the box is formed preferably of thin paper and is stamped or otherwise formed into a blank as indicated by t Figure 3 of the drawing, the lining includ- 1923. Serial no. 629,673.

ing a bottom section 9 and side sections 10, each section 10 being provided with a lip 11 so that when the sides 10 are folded upwardly to conform to the contour of the box as shown by Figure 1 of the drawing,

the lips may be bent downwardly over the upper edges of the sections 7 to secure the lining in position.

The lining retaining section is indicated generally by the reference character 12 and or other pulverized material from passing from the box at points between the bottom section and cover section, or between the adjacent ends of the side walls of the box.

What is claimed as new is In a powder box, a rectangular body portion including a cover section and a bot-tom section of like construction, a rectangular inner section of a width equal to the combined widths of the cover section and bot.- tom section, a lining of paper material titted within the inner section and having side sections cont acting with the inner section, lips at the ends of the side sections and bent over the upper ends of the inner section to hold the lining in position, said lips, being held between the inner section and cover section, a lining retaining member having side sections engaging the side sections of the lining to hold the lining in position, and inwardly extended lips formed. at the free ends of the side sections of the lining retaining member to guard the upper portion of the box.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto atlixed my signature.

DONALD L. COMPTON.
